To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, IVALTER I-I. ALBERT, acitizen of the United States, and a resident of North Caldwell, in thecounty of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new andImproved Combined Advertising Medium, Cash-Voucher, and rlicket, f ofwhich the following lis a full, clear, and exact description.V

The invention relates toadvertising mediums which include a cash voucherand ticket.

The object of the present invention is to provide a new and improvedcombined advertising medium, cash voucher and ticket more especiallydesigned for use by railroads and other transportation companies usingtickets for transportation or for use by theaters and otherestablishments using tickets for admission, the combined advertisingmedium, cash voucher and ticket being-arranged to enable the patrons ofrailways, theaters and the like toobtain a predetermined cash discounton each combined advertising medium, voucher and ticket bought, toenable the advertiser to reach a large number of persons at acomparatively small cost, and to make'it remunerative to the issuingconcern.

In order to accomplish the desired result, use is made of a carrier inthe form of a sheet of paper, a cash voucher on the said carrier, and,at least, one advertisement on the said carrier, and a ticket detachableon they said voucher and of a value of which the cash value of thevoucher is a fraction.

A practical embodimentof the invention is represented in theaccompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in whichsimilar characters of reference indicate cor- ,responding parts in bothviews.

price, payable preferably to a trust company v which holds the money intrust to Secure the payments of the c ash value vouchers. The operatingcompany next, by itself or through an `authorized certification agent,issues the combined advertising medium, cash voucher and ticket inseries and with the tickets printed according to the requirements of atransportation company, theater or other concern. The combinedadvertising media, cash vouchers and tickets of a series are thendelivered free of charge to such transportation company, theater orother concern. Each combined advertising medium,

cash voucher and ticket is sold by the transportation company or otherconcern to its patrons at the price indicated on the ticket, andtheticket is torn off by a gatekeeper, conductor or other person and istaken care of in the same manner, as now generally practised. The patronretains the combined form of a sheet of paper, and having producedthereon by printing or engraving, or

other similar processes, a cash value voucher, preferably arranged intwo portions 11 and l2 disposed at opposite ends of the carrier 10. `Thevoucher portions 11 and 12 are spaced apart to leave a space which ispreferably divided into individual fields each containing anadvertisement 13, but the en-` tire space may be used for a singleadvertisement, if desired. The voucher portion 11 contains a cash valuestatement in the words 25 cents cash per 100 or $2.50 per 1,000 togetherwith the statement that money is held by a trust company to secure thepayments of the cash value stated. The portion 11 further contains atime limit and the name of the operatingconcern together with thefacsimile signature of the treasurer of the said concern. It alsoVcontains the number of the series and the registry number of the series.

vThe voucher portion 12 contains a statement as to the cash value of thevoucher similar to the one shown in the portion 11, valso' a time limitand-the name-o-the'certification agen-t 'together with the facsimilesignature of the secretary of the said concern. The voucher alsocontains the number of the advertising medium of, the series. I Thevoucher portions 11 and l2 may also be embellished .by seals,rtracle-marks and .safeguarded against counterfeiting by o 'Wa-ter marksand the like.

.On one .end of .the carrier isidetachably arranged a ticket 15 whichcan be torn ,off

o along a line yof perforations 16 and this ticket l5 admits the patronto .the theater or Ytransporation l,and is ofa value 'of which the,advertising medium and V'voucher is retained bythe patron and iseventuallywpresented .to the yopera-ting lcompany in lots @t100 for1,000or redemption of their face viaflue, that ,71s,t-ior L00 and $2.50011,000.

Fromt-heV foregoing lit willl seen :that the :advertiser Vis benefitedby reaching a 'large number iofpersons and the issuing concern receivesa fair renumeration by `the paidnfor 4adnert-isen-ients vappearing onthe carrier, and it is Worth `the -While Vfor the `patrons `or .the

customers to tobt-ain la -large numberl of the carrier :owing tothesameffcontaifning a ycash Vvalue* voucher redeemable by VVthe Vissuingconcern.
